Browns Statistics

The Cleveland Browns traded starting running back Trent Richardson to Indianapolis today for the
Colts' first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft.

Richardson was the Browns' top draft pick in 2012 out of Alabama. Last season, he gained 950
yards and scored 11 touchdowns. In two games this season, he has 105 yards on 31 carries. He also
has had injury issues in his pro career, playing most of his rookie season with broken ribs.

The Colts will pair Richardson, the third overall pick in 2012, with the No. 1 pick,
quarterback Andrew Luck. The Colts are 1-1 this season.

“Trent’s a great player, and we expect him to have success in this league,” Browns CEO Joe
Banner said. “Right now, based on how we’re building this team for sustainable success, we’re going
to be aggressive and do what it takes to assemble a team that consistently wins.”

To replace Richardson, the Browns announced they will bring in unsigned free agent Willis
McGahee for a physical. McGahee last played for the Denver Broncos.

Earlier in the day, the Browns announced that third-string quarterback Brian Hoyer will start
Cleveland's next game, at 1 p.m. Sunday against the Vikings in Minnesota. Starter Brandon Weeden
has an injured thumb.
